Leave it to TakaraTomy to once again make better paint apps then Hasbro. These look really cool and my "want-o-meter" is skyrocketing off the charts.

So let me get this straight, MP Soundwave comes with laserbeak, and we gotta fork out more money if we want Frenzy, Rumble, Buzzsaw, and ravage? Or do they come altogether with Soundwave?

Prime will have a blaster that transformers into an impact wrench and Saber will have is sword that transformers into a refueler. Prime and Saber are both scheduled to release in March 2013.

Takara actually polished the turds known as Generations Combaticons. Wowie!

Ultra Magnus couldn't deal with standing in a glass case.

I was so close to making that joke in the news post.

So the Combaticons, those are the same paint apps as the SDCC set except more detail so to speak? Does anyone know if they will be released as a set or individually packaged but sold as a set?

Lastly I don't know if this was already mentioned but based on most of the pics seen here and there will Soundwave and Soundblaster have hand weapons? We have only seen them with their with shoulder mounted cannons but that's it. I really hope they do come with them like WFC Soundwave.

What're the plain white Micron looking things?

The next wave of Gacha Microns: Dobo, Wheeljack Kunai, Ratchet Spanner and Starscream Boomerang.

and I really like Star Saber. Then again, I've always been biased towards swordsmen and blue...

The Transformers GT line is officially driving me nuts. I definitely plan to preorder Star Saber, as he is currently my #1 objective when it comes to this line. But every time I try to not think of Optimus Prime and Fortress Maximus... They each have something that appeals to me. "UNFAIR!" I say. I mean, with Prime, it is his partner and the fact that they respected his "Convoy" name in his profile. And with Fortress, it is the color scheme and those partnered with the team he represents.

But to rationalize... I'll just stick with my plans and hope that the rest add some level of appeal to me. But until then, I will be doing this as I wait for TFsource to have these set up for preorder.

These guys will be coming out maybe sometime December along with the jazz and Optimus repaints. There might be a change in the dates but yeah. I think the combaticons are going to be sold as individual, which means that I have some hunting to do, but that's what I hear.

Ultra Magnus, go home.
You're drunk.

Oh man, the Generations figures look so good. Especially Soundwave and Starscream. Soundwave is badass. I only wish we had a bigger Prime & Megatron.

I initially wasn't interested in the GT-R series but I do like racing paint schemes and Star Saber is a fairly substantial remold. I might be interested if the price is right.

MPs look great as usual.

The more I see of the MP cassettes, the better they get. The way Rumble and Frenzy Transform is so simple yet so brilliantly elegant.

That makes sense, they didn't look like conventional snap kit Microns.

I really need to get my head back in the game, especially with he slew of new stuff...!

I was gonna say the same about Ravage too. The way his head splits down the middle for transformation is really unusual. And, I think that like Laserbeak his weapons are integrated into his tape mode. Cool!

Need the updated lists?

And Takara has succeeded in making me want some Fall of Cybertron figures. But strangely only the Decepticons. They all look badass, while the Autobots just look half-assed. Maybe it's because they're all remolds.

If I was Magnus, I'd be a little distressed to that, as an Autobot often considered second only to Optimus, my weaponary was second to everyone.

Oh! Give it to Voyager Skyquake!

Star Saber took me off guard,in a good way.


Edit:Starscream Boomerang reminds me of his Armada sword.

You know what is funny? The photo that shows Smokescreen is very, very little. I mean to the point we cannot be 100% sure that it is a complete redeco of Knock Out, or it has some retooling that makes him look like Smokescreen. And yet, the one thing that keeps me from being won over when it comes to this piece is his Arms Micron partner.

But seriously... I am 100% sold on GT-R Star Saber, and cannot wait to preorder him.

The only thing retooled on Smokescreen from Knock Out is a spoiler. His head I thought was retooled...then I took a closer look.

Is there really a good way to tell either way? I mean, I'm looking at his head as close as I can (without zooming in so far to blur it even further) and it does look remolded to me. Though, that could just be the image fooling me, but still.
